Creating a New Virtual Matrix
Important:
Save a backup copy of the existing configuration file if you find it necessary to modify the file for
any reason.
Process Overview
Creating a new virtual matrix involves creating virtual channels which
must
be assigned to the physical connectors and
grouped into a virtual matrix. For more information on virtual matrices, see page 119. Four dialog boxes are used for
creating a virtual matrix. The first is for assigning the signals to the VM; the second for assigning the signals to the
physical matrix; the third for selecting the connector assignment method; and the fourth for completing the connector
assignments. To access the Help file regarding an open dialog box, press F1.
The Physical Matrix
The virtual channels need to be assigned to the physical matrix in the Assign Signals to Matrices box. The list in this box
shows only physical matrices that are capable of routing the selected signal.
To view the properties of the connectors:
1.
Select the Hardware tab.
2.
Expand the enclosure and backplane and select the slot.
Note:
For additional information on creating virtual matrices, see the XNConnect Help file. To access the Help
file topic for an open dialog box, press F1.
